Pros

Farmers provides excellent opportunities to move both upward and laterally for someone who is motivated to do so. I have had the chance to do a variety of jobs while keeping the benefits of staying with one company. The profit sharing plan adds nearly 20% to my annual income and with the pension has provided security in regard to my retirement.

Cons

Farmers has not historically been very innovative, and many of its processes are outdated. This seems to be improving, however. Salary increases are governed by forced distribution, meaning high contributors are not always appropriately compensated. The expectations in order to get a really significant increase seem unreachable.

Pros

Farmers once had a solid reputation, but that has declined since Zurich became involved.

Cons

The company is effectively taking the benefit of years of hard work that prior agents invested to grow their businesses and increase Farmers’ policy count. When I started as an agency owner, I invested my own time and money into advertising and building a book of business with the understanding that the sacrifices would pay off over time through renewal commissions. I believed this would create long-term value—something I could eventually rely on to support my retirement. Instead, the constant changes to commission structures and ongoing requirements to continue receiving compensation on business I personally produced—without support—have been incredibly discouraging. It feels like a moving target, and one that diminishes the value of what agents have built. I’ve never been in a position where meetings are held to explain how and why compensation will be reduced or taken away. That reality is deeply frustrating and disheartening.
